Clothing store franchise has been successful. Join us now. 雙贏。
參考思路
1. 錯(cuò)誤因果:批量進(jìn)貨以及shared advertising expense并不能說(shuō)明sandwich shop一定能節(jié)省成本。
2. 錯(cuò)誤類(lèi)比:sandwich shop和clothing store錯(cuò)誤類(lèi)比,clothing store franchise has been successful 不表示sandwich shop加入了national fast food chain也會(huì)成功。
3. 無(wú)端假設(shè): 當(dāng)local restaurant加入了national fast food chain不代表一定能吸引顧客,可能反而會(huì)失去老顧客。
二.Citrus Fruits
說(shuō)的是什么近10年來(lái),某種水果的價(jià)格上升,然而導(dǎo)致客觀因素只有unfavorable weather。所以政府應(yīng)該對(duì)果農(nóng)們采取措施,讓他們降低價(jià)格。
原題
The following is taken from an editorial in a local newspaper.
“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.

天氣狀況不是影響產(chǎn)量的因素,害蟲(chóng)的情況,土壤等自然環(huán)境,還有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者的存在,甚至管理水平等。另外產(chǎn)量也不應(yīng)該是提價(jià)的因素,完全有可能是整體通貨膨脹,還有成本的提升的。
1. Causal oversimplification:是否出了 citrus growers以外 沒(méi)有其他因數(shù)導(dǎo)致了價(jià)格的上漲?。還有,比如環(huán)境保護(hù),加工價(jià)格上升,人力成本上升,或者單純的物價(jià)上漲。。。Monetary inflation, increased distribution and labor costs, or alterations in supply and demand conditions the growers’ desire for increased profits.
2. 充分條件: Only way to combat increased price is through government intervention.
3. 無(wú)關(guān)假設(shè):天氣好 果樹(shù)的產(chǎn)量一定高。因?yàn)榉N植柑橘的農(nóng)民已經(jīng)動(dòng)用了可用的資源了,產(chǎn)量無(wú)法再多
4. 錯(cuò)誤類(lèi)別 or Hasty generalization:檸檬是不是可以橘類(lèi)水果類(lèi)比,或者說(shuō),檸檬有其特殊性,譬如檸檬都是進(jìn)口的,比較貴。
【參考范文】
In this editorial the author argues for the imposition of strict pricing regulations in order to prevent citrus growers from continued inflation of prices of citrus fruit. The need for such regulation is supported by the author’s contention that citrus growers have been unnecessarily raising prices of citrus fruit in the past. The evidence for this allegation is the fact that the price of lemons at Megamart has increased from 15 cents per pound to over a dollar a pound during the preceding 11-year period. The author maintains that this increase is unjustifiable because weather conditions have been favorable to citrus production in all but one of those years. This argument is flawed for several reasons.
First and foremost, the author assumes that the only factor that influences the price of citrus fruit is the weather. Other factors such as monetary inflation, increased distribution and labor costs, or alterations in supply and demand conditions are completely ignored as possible sources for the increase. The charge that citrus growers have unnecessarily raised prices can be sustained only if these and other possible factors can be completely ruled out as contributing to the price increases. Since the author fails to address these factors, the recommendation calling for strict pricing regulations can be dismissed out of hand as frivolous.
Second, the author assumes that the only way to combat increased prices is through government intervention. In a free enterprise system many other means of affecting the pricing of goods are available. For example, boycotting a product and thereby influencing supply and demand conditions of the commodity is an effective means of influencing the price of the product. In a free market economy the call for price regulation by the government should occur only when all other means to rectify the problem have been exhausted.
In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument it would be necessary to show that the only factor influencing the price increases is the growers’ desire for increased profits.
